In this episode, we'll go beyond the virtuous Spartans and the preeminent Alexander to a figure more like our own conflicted selves--my recurring fictional character, Telamon of Arcadia. Telamon is the embodiment of the Warrior Archetype ... unkillable, supreme in combat ... but self-aware, self-questioning, self-tormented. His ordeal is that he must answer, for himself and by himself, the questions the Spartans and Alexander could not.
New episodes every Monday and Thursday.
